SIBU: Sibu Amateur Swimming Association (Sasa) is aiming for a podium finish in the Datuk Patinggi Dr Wong Soon Kai Inter-club Swimming Championship to be held in Bintulu on Dec 2-3.

Sasa is sending 19 boys and 12 girls to the championship.

They include butterfly specialist Nee Gui Ping, Kiliang Ung (breastroke), Patrick Lau, Nee Siao Quan and Ivy Ning.

Team manager Basil Nguoi said the swimmers are all fired up for the splash.

He said the return of Gui Ping would also be a morale booster for the team.

“Gui Ping was not in the squad the past few years and his decision to rejoin Sasa for the coming trip is a big booster to the team morale,” he said.

A total of 13 teams from Kuching, Miri, Brunei, Sabah, Sibu and host Bintulu are in the championship.

Sibu team will leave for Bintulu on Friday, sporting T-shirts sponsored by Tan Ann Group.
